There are many internships available both academic and industry oriented.
Tips: There is a cultural shift, and knowing German can help. I came without a scholarship and had to bear most of the cost myself, which was also a valuable learning experience. I am quite satisfied with the university, especially taking into account the international friendly city of Munich. Many opportunities for fun outside of work, in sports, dance and music. I cannot speak for the whole of Germany.
Likes (Internships): There are many internships available both academic and industry oriented. As a part of the course, you must also complete 2 internships during the Master's so in some way you are encouraged, and the faculty is encouraged to have student interns. Many academic groups provide internships, which are not paid, while industrial positions often include a stipend. All the above information is regarding field-specific internships.
Dislikes (Student Life): Student life is quite different here. There is a very little community, and most friends are made during the compulsory coursework, in student dorms and shared internships. Events are organised 1-2 times per year by the faculty, and there are frequent student parties that happen at student dorms. There is one main student club in the University for academic organisation, and a few if not none, for other activities. Most students spend time at home and come to campus only for coursework.

LMU is a great place for people who are initiative takers.
Tips: The administration here is not that great. Things every student must know aren't really unannounced anywhere. You must proactively get yourself added to WhatsApp and Telegram groups, which certainly exist, no matter your course, and keep track of information there. Life here is slightly convenient. Supermarket closes by 8 pm; commuting to university takes around 30 min; dinner needs to be made at home; ordering food from restaurants is expensive around 15 euros for a meal. It can also be isolating, not just academically. In India, one is used to knowing their classmates and their lecturers. Here, due to the amount of flexibility we have, it is usual for you to only know 3-4 of your classmates throughout your course, depending on which subjects you choose. Taking initiative is what will change your life. Or being good friends with someone else who does. You must also be proactive in discussing tutorials and attending lectures. Also, in making friends. Be proactive and make sure you meet friends every once in a while. Otherwise, it is easy to get too stressed out. Don't take too many courses, keep it to 12 credits for the first semester.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are available in Munich. You will get one for sure, if you look around, within 2-3 months or so. However, it is tedious to find them. There is no single unified portal where all such jobs are advertised. Instead, one must be proactive in seeking them: searching different groups, talking to different group leaders. Even if there are no job openings in their groups, they often offer proactive students work. This is a lot of work, but doable.

LMU is one of the best university in Germany and is known for reasearch orientation.
Tips: No spoon-feeding. You need to know the basics of the topic before even it starts. Exams are quite hard to pass, but you get two attempts every semester. Focus on smart work rather than hard work. Culture is quite different; people here are unapproachable. And winter is also harsh. But once you get used to it. It's fine.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Professors are always there to help. They not only focus on theory but also on experimental work. Student-friendly and supportive. Always encouraging doing new things. Mostly they ask us to use reference books or research papers. And every week there is a meeting where I have to present my work to my supervisor about my research.
Dislikes (Part time work): It is really hard to get a part-time job. You need at least B2 level German language proficiency. Working student is a good option but hard to get. You get rejection here and there without any reason. And they prefer students from their country over international ones.

Highly qualified faculty and a diverse learning environment.
Tips: The transition relied heavily on getting used to the German weather. Munich as a city can get extremely cold in the winter and a lot of bureaucratic as well as home maintenance work requires effort as well as at least a basic understanding of the German language. While the University itself is extremely diverse and while a large fraction of the staff at cafes, restaurants or grocery stores are able to communicate in English using German as a language to approach individuals (outside the University) can become a useful skill.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members that I worked and studied with are not only highly qualified but are also extremely accommodating and approachable with conceptual difficulties as well as bureaucratic needs. If they are unable to help you out, they refer you to the relevant authorities who would definitely help you out.

Finding my research identity in LMU.
Tips: There is one important thing that everyone should know especially about LMU and my course in particular. I came here thinking I would finish my degree in 2 years and transition to a PhD. But I am going to start my master's thesis at the end of my 2nd year. It is quite normal here to finish the degree at your own pace. That was a major culture shock for me, since in India, masters is considered a 2 year commitment. LMU offers a lot of scholarships to international students such as Deutschland Stipendium and LMU SIST Scholarships. I am very much satisfied with LMU and Munich in general.
Likes (Student Life): LMU has amazing student life. You could meet different kinds of people from different sets of society and are also exposed to a multitude of cultures. Over the past 2 years, I have only been on the college campus for a few months to attend mandatory courses, after which I designed my courses such that I don't have to go to campus regularly. I spent my remaining time exploring labs, working different types of part-time jobs and travelling.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): For the field of Biology post-study jobs majorly narrow down to PhD. And the pay for Ph.D. is enough to survive everywhere. If you are coming with the expectation of getting an indutsry based jobs, it might take a lot of effort and time.

Best student life and friendly people.
Tips: It was a life-changing transition for me. I became more independent and aware of myself. Most of the mundane things like grocery shopping, keeping your space clean, cooking, etc., may sound easy on paper, but this is where you get to know a lot of things about yourself. I also made good friends in my German class as well as where I used to work part-time. I enjoyed every bit of my time in Munich. LMU Munich has some of the best research facilities and the faculty here, in one way or another, have all worked with Nobel Laureates. The course has also been structured in such a way that it gives you a lot of freedom to choose your courses and internships. Germany as a country is great to live in, apart from all the paperwork you have to be ready for.
Likes (Student Life): The best thing about studying in Munich is the student life. You will never get bored. There are ample things to do. The best way to emerge with local and make friends is to enrol yourself in any sport/music/dance activity at the Olympia Park. You can enrol through your university and most of the prices are very nominal for students. Apart from this, you can enjoy the beer garden and travel to any part of the city through its amazing public transportation. There are also a lot of options to enrol in a language course through the university as well, where you can make friends within your class. The best thing is that your fee will be refunded if you pass the exam. In addition, my campus and the faculty of Biology always had fun events to organize, especially for freshers, like sightseeing, visits to museums, ice skating, and trekking in the Alps. During Christmas time, we also have a potluck dinner, bonfires, and lots of baking.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not any fixed number. Most of the MNCs offer sponsored work visas. Even start-ups actively look for international talent. Job roles and salary packages depend on the domain area. For IT and finance, you can expect to get paid more than in other avenues. The important thing to keep in mind when applying for jobs is that the role needs to align well with your background. In addition, knowledge of the German language is a critical criteria as well to land jobs.

Indian students don't always need to take an entrance exam, it depends on the qualifications. UG Students whose HSC is not directly equivalent to the German Abitur, will have to pass an assessment test at a preparatory course (Studienkolleg).
